It depends how large the Sul is and the hermit usually yes but you should in mind that hermits need sponges and there own hideout plus the food.

The thing is that the hermits food is meat and meals and that is not good for the Sulcata.

Also Hermits Need A few shells and a climbing area.

So yeah the do make a good mate for the sulcata Tortoise.

Any other of the tort species will most likely eat it.

I have a Sulcata Tort Named Gordan and he has a hermit crab with him.

Doing fine!

Probably not. The hermit crab will probably pinch the small turtle and they would fight everyday.

Is it legal to take home a hermit crab from the beach?

No, it is not legal. You must have a permit to harvest hermit crabs from the beach even if it is only one. Additionally, the majority of the hermit crabs found on the beach especially in North America are marine hermit crabs and they will not be able to survive in the kind of habitat that is designed for Land Hermit Crabs. They need a full salt water reef setup and must live under water.
